Selections will be based on academic excellence (minimum admission average of 85%) and a statement outlining their interest and commitment to human rights. Recipients will receive a $7,000 residence credit at United College (split between 1A and 1B) during their first year. In Year Two, Three, and Four students will be eligible to receive $1,000 per year provided they remain in good academic standing in the Human Rights minor and demonstrate leadership in the United College community. An application is due in mid-April; refer to the United College website for full details. This scholarship was created in honour of Lloyd Axworthy, the first chancellor of United College (previously St. Paul’s University College).
